AKS Tuning
« on: April 23, 2012, 07:37:36 pm »
Massive thumbs up to Alex at AKS. 

Met up with him today. Was great to see someone take time and patience with the car. He was almost as meticulous with his tools as James May (without giving his spanners names!).

Also took some time to do some bits'n'bobs for free like swapping brake clips, doing a few logged runs etc.

 :congrats:

Please consider moving to Birmingham, Alex!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

200 mile round trip for me & Alex will be looking after the Cupra in the future.  Wise move leaving backshaft

Yup. Cheers for that mike!

From the chat I had with alex, I really need to see your car in the flesh.

Because from the sound of things your build thread doesn't do your car any justice!  :happy2:
